the rear axel is shifted more over to the passenger side. A month or so ago, I had a panhard bar installed and adjusted for the stock 235's. Got 275's, and noticed the tire is sticking out more on the passenger side than the driver side. Any ideas?

I left a message for the shop, and waiting for a call back.

Thanks

So adjust the panhard bar. Have you no tools at all?

praztek

I have tools, just was surprised that is would change, with the new tires. Or it was never set correctly to begin with by the shop which is what I suspect.

Thanks

I know it's '20-20 hind sight' but you should measure (string, plumb-bob and tape measure is all you need) the OE setting (typically our about 3/8" from factory. Then measure after the bar install. You can measure now. The amount off has nothing to do with tires or rims. Let us know how much it's off now; BTW is the PHB adjustable?

praztek

Yes, I have the adjustable Steeda PHB. Theres a 9/16 gab on the drivers side, and putting string with weight on the passenger side, there is 0 gab, it actually pushes out the line. Like I mentioned earlier, I had this work done a month or so when the tires were stock, and thought they already did the proper adjustments, which now I guess not.

Since line pushes out some, we can call it 5/8" which is more than any OE I have heard of so far. Didn't see that you have lowering coils in the rear; do you? In any event they installed an adj panhard bar and didn't check this apparently. After doing Eibach prokit coils on mine it was out between 1/2" and 9/16" from one side to the other. After I installed phb I test drove and rechecked; have rechecked since and no change. Can only figure they didn't get it right on the install but it's off so much I think you would have noticed it then too. In any event simple adjustment now and you're good to go. Both sides will stick out more than I would want but that's just a personal taste thing. Just make the correction and enjoy...

My point is it's not worth taking back to the shop, atleast not to me. Adjusting the PHB is something my wife could do and she ain't mechanically inclined by any stretch of the imagination.

Unless you just like going to your mechanic (which to me means a good chance of coming away with another scratch), i'd do it myself if I were you.

What size tires/rims are those? Brand?

praztek

They are BFG G-Force T/A KDW 275/40ZR-18 wrapped around 18 x 9 chrome bullitts purchased from AFS Wheels.
